==== PHP ==== The 825gen2 includes PHP which combined with the Apache Web Server allows for powerful web features. {{{ root@imx8mq-var-dart:~# php -v PHP 8.1.10 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2022 16:09:36) (NTS) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v4.1.10, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies }}} Accessing MySQL database from php: Make sure MySQL is configured first. Refer to MySQL page MySQL (MariaDB) Create a simple test php file to read from the database {{{ cd /usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs nano readmysql.php }}} {{{ 825 MySQL Test query($sql); if($result->num_rows > 0) { echo ''; while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $title = $row['title']; $description = $row['description']; echo ''; } echo '
TitleDescription
' . $title . '' . $description . '
'; } } ?> }}} Test with PC on same network as 825. [[Image(825webpagephp.png)]] It may also be helpful to use browser "Developer tools" selection to view the generated html code. [[Image(825webdevtools.png)]] PHP can also be used to read SQLite databases. {{{ root@imx8mq-var-dart:/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs# cat testsqlite.php 825 SQLite Test query('SELECT truck_name,tare FROM trucks'); echo ''; while ($row = $results->fetchArray()) { $truckid = $row['truck_name']; $tare = $row['tare']; echo ''; } echo '
Truck IDTare
' . $truckid . '' . $tare . '
'; ?> }}} [[Image(825webphpsqlite.png)]] Following is a more advanced demo. This reads from an ID storage transaction table and also displays vehicle images associated with transactions. {{{ 825 ID Storage query($sql); if($result->num_rows > 0) { echo ''; while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $tkt_num = $row['tkt_num']; $datetime = $row['date'] .
